Metanoia

by Risto McFeeleyMedium: Video

Over the last three months, there’s been a progressive change going on in my life, ultimately culminating in where I am now. I could tell something was different, but it wasn’t until a couple weeks ago that I finally figured out what that change was: For the first time in at least a decade, and quite possibly my whole life, I’m not living my life for someone else. There is no one who I’m trying to impress, no one I’m trying to please, no one making me filter my actions. I’m just being me, and being happy with that. If people like it, lovely, and if they don’t… well, I can’t please everyone, so not a lot of sense in trying! I may as well be me, because no one else can ever do that for me.

My goal for this video was to illustrate this realization through both my movement and the music. I wanted to show off some moves and combos that are definitively my own, not necessarily because they’re too hard for other freerunners, but because they’re just not things that other people would think to do. As far as the music goes, it’s Ecruteak City, my favorite place ever, even though it’s not actually real. Being an orchestrated version of a Pokemon song, it’s a mature package of something that’s still childish at heart, just like me! As much as I wish could say that I created this wonderful piece of music, I did not, and as such, all rights belong to the makers, not me.
